Redbox DVD Rental
Since I am kind of thrifty, I am always looking to find ways to save money. We like to watch a lot of movies around our house, and we have found the Redbox DVD rentals quite handy. They only cost a dollar a night to rent a movie, and …

Tears of the Sun, directed by Antione Fugua is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong war violence, some brutality and language. The original release date was March 7, 2003 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Drama/Thriller and stars Bruce …
Tripping the Rift Season 1 DVD
Tripping the Rift is an unusual show. It has a fairly solid basis as a science fiction spoof: sure it has been done before but there is so much material to be found that there is still much to be done and new fodder is always being developed …
Captivity (UR, 2003)
Fashion model Jennifer (played by Elisha Cuthbert) has been kidnapped after spending the evening at a nightclub. She awakens to find herself trapped in some sort of basement with a labyrinth of killer tricks and props. She realizes that someone is testing her, watching her every move. …
The Smoking Room movie
This show follows a group of smokers from a run of the mill office building in London. Each episode is shown in real time, the thirty minutes we see told continuously. The action never veers away from the smoking room itself, instead characters come and go.
It’s a simple …
Erin Brockovich
This is a very beautiful movie. Well, it’s based on the life of activist Erin Brockovich, so there’s nothing much we can do or comment about the plot or story line. Erin lived a very inspiring, albeit controversial life and we owe some respect as to how she lives …
Up in the Air: the movie
I had heard good things about the movie Up in the Air, including that it had been nominated for an Academy award for best picture. Also, I like George Clooney, who starred in the movie. So this was a movie I wanted to see in the theater, …
A Little Princess,1986
This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …
Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen Movie
I was really excited about this movie as the first movie was really good. I was also expecting more added characters here and this movie was more exciting because of them. The plot is about Sam Witwicky deciding to leave for college to have a normal life and to …
Creature from the Black Lagoon
I absolutely love old black and white horror flicks and, because of this, think Creature from the Black Lagoon is an often-overlooked classic.
Filmed in 1954, the movie focuses on a group of scientists who are terrorized by a creature that is half-man, half fish and possibly the missing link …
Film The Bank Job
The Bank Job is a retread of the tried and tested, ‘caper film with likable London criminals’ formula, in the same vain as the Italian Job, but with more banking, and no Michael Caine.
Now, although it has no new ideas there are good things about this film, not the …
Mystery Science Theater 3000, movie (1995)
Influential films and programmes come in all shapes and sizes, ones that inspire you to go out and make videos yourself. I find there are three categories of influential media: first are the ones that you’re told changed how the media industry works, like —˜Citizen Kane’ or —˜Birth or …
Layer Cake (2004)
Daniel Craig plays the character of a street wise drug dealing business man, who, unlike so many of his competitors, does not indulge in using the product of which he sells. He is disciplined in the ways of the business. Setting a target cash goal for himself, and when …
Men in Black 3 (movie)
One of the movies that I watched this summer was “Men in Black 3”, starring the first movie’s original actors, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. I have to admit that before I saw it, I was somewhat eager to watch the movie being that the plot sounded very …
Nine months Movie
I just saw this movie in one of the television channel.Two hours passed without knowing in a fraction of second.It was a comedy film and had message about the value of the family.From the start to the end it was full of comedy cracker and provides us with …
He’s Just Not That Into You movie
For Valentines Day this year, my girlfriend really wanted to see the new movie, “He’s Just Not That Into You” and, it being Valentines Day and all, I obliged. Believe it or not though, I really enjoyed the film, as did everyone in the theatre! Well, at …
Interstellar - Movie (2014)
I had the privilege of seeing Interstellar in theatres yesterday. I had high expectations for the film, given that Christopher Nolan is the director. I was not disappointed, I was actually amazed. Interstellar had a great story and the visuals were a treat. I’m glad I had the chance to …
Unleashed movie
This movie is about a man named Danny(played by Jet Li) who was taken in and trained as a dog. His “master,” the man who murdered his mother and then took him in, uses his talent for his personal business. Once Danny’s collar is removed, he is …

England, 1202 AD. At that time, Viktor and Mark are two noblemen Vampire hunt William’s parent Lycan hiding in a village. In fact, all the villagers have changed the complexion become Lycan, so there is no other way for Viktor and Marcus to spend them all, including William. But, …
Movie 100 feet
This review is for the movie “100 feet” starring Famke Janssen (Jean Gray from X-Men). I picked it up at my local Blockbuster thinking it looked like a decent horror film.
Reading the back of the case provided a plausible premise for a horror flick. A woman is released …
Blackout (NR, 2007)
This sleeper hit was about the Blackout that occurred in 2003 on the Northeast Seaboard. This movie was certainly hidden, because I’d never heard about it until I stumbled across it on Netflix. In any case, there aren’t too many big names. Sean Blakemore has a …
Can’t Buy Me Love, movie
Although there are many films out there about the diamond in the rough teenager who just needs a little push to be less awkward, none quite matches the charm of this film with Patrick Dempsey long before he was famous. In fact it has hard to imagine the man …
House of Wax
House of Wax with Chad Michael Murray, Elisha Cuthbert, and Paris Hilton.
I have to be honest. I watched this movie in the hopes of seeing nude scenes with Paris Hilton. Well, it did not happen and the rest of the movie had to stand …
Yeh Hai Jalwa (movie), 2002
Yeh Hai Jalwa, a stupid movie indeed but nice to watch at home. This film released in 2002. I watched it at home on TV. The director of the film is David Dhawan. As it is David Dhawan film it has to be stupid but mindlessly entertaining too. The …
Sumuru movie
Sumuru isn’t an A-movie. It’s not really even a B-movie. I actually liken Sumuru to a Patrick Swayze movie called Skatetown USA. Both are so bad that they are oddly enticing and fun to watch. Sumuru’s main attraction is its star, Michael Shanks, who plays …
In Her Shoes (2005 movie)
This is yet another movie where you must ask the question of “What were they thinking?”. This movie is sleep, snore, drool…boring. It is supposed to be a Comedy/Drama, but I am yet to see where the comedy is or has gone. I’ve come to expect so much better …
Requiem For A Dream movie
Requiem For A Dream is another weird film you watch late at night and then try to figure out what really happened later on. I really like this movie because it is so sorted and twisted. You just can’t l really understand what would drive people to be so …
Return to Oz (1985 Film)
The Wizard of Oz is a well-known film to those who have or have not seen it. But have you ever wondered what happens to Dorothy when she returns from Oz? In the 1985 film “Return to Oz” you can find out. A very young Fairuza Balk takes on …
Harry Potter & The Sorcerer’s Stone
This is it. The starting of the legend. I had briefly heard the name of Harry Potter, ut paid no attention to it. That is, until I saw this movie. After that, I was hooked. On the movie, the characters, the world of Harry Potter.
I think this first movie …
Movie Sleepless in Seattle
“Sleepless in Seattle” is my top favourite romantic movie ever. I have been watching this movie endless of time since it first appeared on our screen in 1993. I like it so much because the story and the music are great, the actors have got a lot of chemistry …
Crimes & Misdemeanors ( 1989) Movie
Whether you are a Woody Allen fan or not, Crimes & Misdemeanors is an excellent movie and I think it is one of his best, but I think you have to have a tendency to be philosophical about the deeper issues in life if you are to enjoy it. …
The Ugly Truth movie
I really enjoyed watching this movie. This was another pick from the RedBox dvd kiosk. I will however purchase this to have in my movie collection. This movie is a great romantic comedy dealing with issues such as relationships, what men and women look for when dating, etc. There …
Disney’s Robin Hood
I love the earlier Disney films, back when everything was put on cels and was hand-drawn and none of this CGI and computer animated stuff. This was back near the golden age of television and movie theaters. This particular film was the first Disney film to be made …
Beastmaster movie
Whenever I watch Beastmaster, I can understand why it’s a movie that has been shown on television as much as it has.
Marc Singer puts on a very good performance as Dar, a man who is seeks revenge against the evil priest who slaughtered his entire family at the beginning …
Foxes movie
I don’t usually like to watch movies from the seventies or eighties; but I made an exception and watched the movie “Foxes” today which was released in nineteen eighty. The first thing which attracted me to it too ewas the fact that it starred a much younger version of …
Movie Step Up
I admit that I only watched this movie because the second one will soon be on the big screen. I only watched it in case that “Step Up 2 The Streets” makes some kind of reference to the first original movie.
I must admit that I was …
Biutiful Movie
The director of this movie is a very famous Mexican director who has made many previous movies with the same basic structure in all of his films. He will take a bunch of disconnected or interconnected stories and then weave them together to make a movie. In …
The Ugly Truth movie
I absolutely loved this movie. I saw previews for it and thought “it looks alright.. I guess I’ll see it because i want to go to the movies.” So I went to see it and it was so funny. It was better than I had expected. The previews don’t …
Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen
What can I say - the title of this review says it all! I watched “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” at Greenbelt Cinema 3 with my best friend and her son last weekend and it was, in a word, awesome! The movie really lived up to all the hype.
If …
Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen
Michael Bay manages to top himself in this follow up to the 2007 box office hit —˜Transformers’ based on the popular toy line and cartoons of the 1980’s. This film takes place a short while after the first with the Autobots forming an alliance with the American Military to …
Surf’s Up
I brought my little cousin less than 4 years old to watch Surf Up the other night, and she really enjoyed the penguin sightings. She really thought that penguins could sing, talk and dance, and she wanted to go to the zoo to talk to the penguins. …
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000 Film)
Dr. Seuss’s cherished book “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” is a story that many people know and love for the holiday season. It was turned into a 2000 motion picture staring Jim Carrey as the Grinch. Not only was there a new twist of comedy to this beloved tale, …
Under The Tuscan Sun-Diane Lane
I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it at a friend’s house, and liked it enough that I bought the DVD rather than just borrowing it from my friend. I especially liked the imagery of some of the main character’s lines, as well as the idea of just up …
Life or Something Like It
“Life or Something Like It” is definitly not one of the best Angelina Jolie’s movies. Infact she was nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie. Jolie is not great in this movie because, for one thing, she is wearing blond hair and looks like a …
Beowulf
I am so glad that I had the actual time from work and pleasure to see this wonderful movie! I feel that the epic poem has done way more service to America by using computer graphics then by being some live action drivel. I really liked hearing …
Interview with a Vampire (Movie)
Interview with a vampire is my favorite vampire movie of all time. It shows a kind of vampire that I feel has been pushed to the wayside in this generation. I think this is mainly because vampires are either made to be really disgusting monsters (like in Dracula or …
Did You Hear About the Morgans Movie (2010)
I had loved Sarah Jessica Parker in the Sex and the City series, tv and movie, so when I saw her in another movie Did You Hear About the Morgans, along with Hugh Grant, I thought this would be a fun movie since the two of them are really …
Darkman movie
The first time I saw the movie “Darkman” was before I had cable television and I used to go over to one of my relatives house to watch television sometimes, especially on summer holidays when I did not have anywhere else to be or anything to do. However, at …
Ben-Hur movie
A classic movie is one that lasts through the ages, and Ben-Hur is definitely one of those. It’s an epic motion picture produced with high quality everything. It won 11 Academy Awards. The masterful and commanding Charlton Heston took home one of those, winning the Best …
